SonTek HydroSurveyor ™
Software and Hydrographic Surveying ADCP
The Practical solution to Velocity, position, and depth Measurement
Skip the complicated set-up, expensive equipment and complex
software packages. With the new HydroSurveyor, enjoy access
to today’s most sophisticated bathymetric technology in a single
package, and at a fraction of the cost.
Flexible and Fast. Water sound speed corrections are interpolated in both
™
space and time with the fully integrated CastAway-CTD, delivering agility and
accuracy to your surveys.
All Inclusive. Full water column velocity mapping, exclusive 5-beam depth
sounding and acoustic bottom tracking (for speed over ground when GPS is lost)
provide comprehensive data for a complete solution within a single package.
Software Centric. With built-in automatic data gridding and interpolation,
even intricate surveys won’t require specialized complex software, saving you
time and money.
Additional Features Include:
• Sound speed integration and • Automatic data gridding and
interpolation (with CastAway-CTD) interpolation
• Speed over ground (Acoustic Bottom • 360° compass and two-axis tilt sensor
Tracking) • Interface for customer-supplied GPS
• 5-beam depth soundings (50° swath) and/or heading sensor
• Water column velocity mapping
Additional options:
• CastAway-CTD
• Upgrade for existing RiverSurveyor M9 systems
• SonTek RTK GPS or DGPS
• Delrin/aluminum boat mount
• Bluetooth/spread spectrum telemetry
